listen the ONLY part of a mr mime thats edible are the red spots, and thats ONLY after being properly cooked – if you bite into any part of their body while its still raw youll suffer near immediate food poisoning
luckily, just like red kidney beans, the potential toxins are easily to remove provided you take the right steps
once theyve been safely removed from their inedible surroundings, the larger red spheres are ready to begin working with – its worth noting that the smaller spots on the hands and cheeks also fall into this category, but theyre almost always too small to be considered harvesting by most professionals
youll want to start by cutting away any flesh thats still directly touching the pale parts; when in doubt, a wider cut is always preferred. better safe than sorry ! one benefit of working with mr mimes is that, along with many others in their typing, their bodies are held together with physic energy and thus dont require deboning
the next part is going to require boiling in a large pressure cooker- some may find it a challenge to to find a pot big enough to host all the parts, so cooking them individually is fine. remember to follow the instructions to the letter
after theyve been removed and dried, an easy way to text if theyre safe to eat is to cut them in half and check the spongy center – a darkened purple core means theyve been boiled long enough, while any lighter, greenish tints means you probably needed a bit more time
once theyre out of the danger range, you can now safely use them in variety of dishes ! their almost mushroom-like texture means they absorb flavors well, and pictured above is one of my personal favorites
THIS guy though, you can just pop em into your mouth whole. its fine
its fine
its fine
In the wake of the new Detective Pikachu trailer I feel I should reblog this.
TIL preparing Mr Mime meat is similar to preparing Puffer Fish
the most fun thing about being a fic author is when you know what’s supposed to happen but when you go to write it you realise that, for the event to be plausible, you need to add another 2k of development and establish like six extra things before you can even get to the scene you need to write, and by ‘most fun’ I mean fuck everything someone take this fucking story away from me I’m on strike
truth
THIS!! This is why it’s so goddamn hard and time-consuming and drives me nuts and I lose sleep and spend HOURS writing the precursor to The Fun Thing to make plausibility and god forbid I want a damn sentence in return for my mental effort once the story is uploaded and fuck writing is HARD and FRUSTRATING. It can be so damn easy sometimes but writing fictional plausibility without breaking someone’s suspension of disbelief (which I suggest anyone unfamiliar with the phrase to google) while they read can make you want to burn the whole damn thing down and god I’m so so tired.
It took me 20k+ words to get to the smut in Shamefully Yours. The smut originally started 5 pages in. I HAD TO ADD PLOT AND BACKSTORY TO MAKE THE SMUT WORK *dies*
Requested by @cclferrous for more serpent au. This was a lot of fun. I kind of have it if Jack is excited he gradually slips into more serpent features. I couldn’t help it ;;;
